Designing An Ultra-Thin Stepdown Converter: Multiphase Vs. Multilevel

Designing An Ultra-Thin Stepdown Converter: Multiphase Vs. Multilevel

Over the past decade computers, displays, smart phones and other consumer electronics systems have become thinner while also becoming more powerful. As a result, the market continues to increase its demand for thinner power supply solutions with greater power density. This article examines the feasibility of adopting various non-isolated dc-dc stepdown topologies for an ultra-thin 48-V to 20-V, 250-W power solution.
